Scaling after Acquisition : Build what you buy

The ETA Club at Haas is excited to host Robin Mohapatra, Operating Partner at Relay Investments, for a speaker event on Scaling After Acquisition: Build What You Buy.

Buying a business is step one. Building it into something greater is the real challenge and the real opportunity. From assembling the right team to driving strategic growth, the post-acquisition phase defines whether a deal was worth doing in the first place. Robin knows this firsthand. After graduating from Stanford GSB, he launched a search fund, acquired NCFDD, and spent seven years as CEO scaling the company from 50 to 350 university members and growing to 250 employees across the US and Canada. Following a successful exit, he joined Relay Investments as an Operating Partner, where he now advises and invests in searcher-CEOs navigating that same journey.
